The Dialogue Institute (DI) has been named one of three organizational winners of the 3rd Doha International Award for Interfaith Dialogue 2016. The award, which came with a $15,000 prize, is presented annually by the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue (DICID) to honor and appreciate prominent, productive and creative individuals and organizations for their work in the field of interreligious/interfaith dialogue.

"On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff at the Dialogue Institute, we are grateful to DICID for choosing the DI and for honoring its programs and the work of Professor Swidler in this way," said DI Board Chair Majid Alsayegh. "The award will provide the DI with meaningful additional resources to continue its efforts to educate leaders from around the world in the skills of dialogue, critical thinking and global citizenship—skills that are much needed today."
